SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 514,126, dated February6, 189%.

Application filed August 16, 1893.

Be it known that I, PHILIP MARVEL, a citizen of the United States, and aresident of Atlantic City, in the county of Atlantic and State of NewJersey, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Cabinets,of which the following is a specification.-

My invention relates to improvements in cabinetsfor holding medicines,chemicals, &c., and the object'of my invention is to furnish acabinet ofsmall size, convenient arrangement, and attractive appearance which willhold all the drugs, bandages, and other necessary articles that aphysician ordinarily needs in his practice.

In the accompanying drawingsforming part letters of reference indicatesimilar parts throughout the several views, Figure 1, is a frontelevation of my cabinet, the doors of which are opened and the desks ofwhich are tion of Fig. '1, on line 1-2; Fig. 4, a section of Fig.1, online 3-4; Fig.5, an'enlarged end elevation of the inside of one ofthedoors, B, showing device for supporting and adjusting the shelves. Fig.6, is a side elevation of the L shaped supports Fig. 5, the back of thecabvation of one of the spring clips R, the shelf 0 being shown insection; Fig. 8, a front elevation of a modification of my cabinet; Fig.9 a plan of Fig. 8, and Fig. 10, a section of Fig. 8, on line 5-6.

A is the rear orstationary part of the cabinet; B, doors hinged to thefront ends-of the sides of the rear part A.

O, C, C, are shelves carried by the rear part A, and by the doorsB.These shelves are preferably inclined as shown in Fig. 4, so'that thebottles may rest in an approximatelyupright position.

D are small compartments preferably doua partition 1) running acrosstheir centers, which are hinged at a, Fig. 1, to the front ends of thesides of the rear or stationary part of the cabinet.

0 are inclined shelves in thesecom partm'ents which are adapted toholdsmall bottles. Access to the bottles in the front compartment Serial No.483,289- on; model.)

may be had as soon as the doors B are opened, to the rear'ones by simplyswinging the com partments 1) around on their hinges a.

E are. large drawers carried by the upper parts of the doors B.

F are a number of small drawers carried by the lower parts of the doorsB.

G are drawers in the extreme lower and side portions A, A of thestationlary part A.

The doors B when closed and locked prevent access to any of the articleswhich may be carried by the shelves or drawers of either the doors, orthat part A, A oi the stationary part of the cabinet, which the doorsincioso.

The lower portion of the central part A of the cabinet is furnished witha number of drawers H, above which is a-compartment or spacel dividedofi by horizontal and vertical partitio ns into a number of compartmentsJ".

.I is aleaf the lower end of-which is hinged to the frame of the cabinetat cl and which when open forms a desk upon which. prescriptio'ns may becompounded or writing done. Above the compartment i are small drawers K.1 Upon one side of the upper part of the'cahinet is a compartment I,divided off by horizontal and vertical partitions into a number of smallcompartments M which may be furnished with drawers. if desired. Upon theother side is a similar compartment which may bearranged in anyconvenient manner. Between the two side compartments is a centralcompartment N which is preferably furnished with a large drawer O, orwhich may be left open forming a space for an ornament or for books.

In Figs. 5 and 6, I have shown a device by means of which the shelves Gcarried by the doors B and the stationary pa'rt A of the cabinet may beadjusted.

f, are L shaped supports, which may be struck up from a continuous pieceof metal g, and'which are secured to the sit} es of the doors B, or theother places containing the shelves, one piece near each front of theside, another near. the back of the side as shown in Fig. 5.

h are rods the ends of which are bent over as shown and which areadapted to be held by the supports f. As'will be seen from Fig. 5, therods It may be placed at any angle from about forty five degrees to thehorizontal.

These rods it support the ends of the shelves C and by changing thepositions of these rode the inclination of the shelves may be varied.

In order to separate the bottles I have devised a spring clip which isadapted to grasp the shelves and which may readily be removed from theshelves or pushed along them sidewise so as to allow for bottles ofgreater or lesser size. This clip is illustrated in Fig. 7. It consistsof a piece of wire B one end of which is bent over in substantially a Ushape and which is adapted to clasp the top and bottom of the shelf. Thewire is then bent so as to extend upward from the shelf, then backwardand downward until it meets the shelf along which it runs for a shortdistance as shown in the drawings.

Having thus described my invention, I claim-- 1. The combination in acabinet of the stationary portion A furnished with shelves and drawersas described, doors, B hinged to the sides of said portion A andfurnished upon their inner sides with shelves and drawers, and thecompartments D hinged to the portion A, all substantially as and. forthe purposes set forth.

2. The combination in a cabinet of a stationary portion A furnished withshelves and drawers as described, doors B hinged to the sides of saidstationaryportion A. shelyesand mates drawers carried by the inner sidesof said doors l3, compartments D hinged to the portion A as described,and a compartmentin said stationary portion A and a hinged lid or leafadapted to cover the same when closed and to form a shelf or desk whenopen.

- 3. The combination in a cabinet of a stationary portion A having sideportions A, A shelves and drawers in said side portions, doors B hingedto the sides of said portions A, A and adapted'to inclose the fronts ofthesame when closed, shelves and drawers carried by said doors,compartments D hinged to the upper sides of the said portions A, A

a central portion A, drawers in the lower part of said central portion,a cotnpartment in its top, and a hinged lid or leaf adapted to inclosethe same, all substantially as and for the purposes set forth.

4:. The herein described device for supporting and adjusting theinclination of the she1ves,and in combination with said shelves and thecase in which said shelves are placed, the L. shaped supports f and therods h the ends of which are bent over, al-lsubstantially as set forth.
